Making. The Educational Movement Process of creating something (Hsu, Baldwin and Ching, 2017).
Experimentation/Transformational Learning "Although this approach is expensive, it may be worth it because the students are engaged in a transformational style of learning, and I immediately thought of how it could be used practically for language learning or tourism. The magnitude of which is only dependent on how far I or students can stretch their imagination and test their limits." Jon Thomas (2018).

Math/Physics/Engineering "As a math teacher, something I’ve heard talked about is the idea of having students embrace a growth mindset, essentially, that students aren’t simply “math people” or they are; failure is an experience to be learned from and not simply forgotten as soon as they arrive at the proper solution. Students grow into problem solvers in a mathematics classroom and in a Makerspace the same holds true." Mark Antle (2018).
